Bioactivity | Neuropeptide Y (2-36) (porcine) is a porcine-derived neuropeptide with 97.14% homology to rat/human origin. Neuropeptide Y (2-36) (porcine) is also a rat neuropeptide receptor agonist, with EC50 values of 1.2, 1.6 and 3.4 nM for receptor of Y5, Y2 and Y1 respectively. Neuropeptide Y (2-36) (porcine) can be used in studies related to obesity and eating disorders[1]. |
